    Notes 
    • Catherine Anne Burns was often called Cassie. Nobody had ever asked and nobody was ever told her real name but because her daughter was named Kathleen everyone assumed her real name was Kathleen Ann and not Catherine Ann Burns.

      Her pets were Betsey - a sheep; Laddy - a dog;

      Catherine suffered deeply with rhumatoid arthritis and was crippled severely with it all over her body. Her favourite tune that she use to sing to herself when I was around here was - "Tootses in the Raydoz". This is said the way it is read.

      Nursing Home Wassa Wass in Healy Rd Hamilton Hill. She was kicked out of there for making to much of a racket all the time.


      On her death her name was given as Kathleen Ann.
